Yet when they are fighting for their "rights" in a country outside their origin (?????), they speak of Civil Rights and how their struggle is much like the struggle of Black People. Then the Mexican Mafia and that Central American Gang M-13 kills some nice black college kids.

What is their mind state?

Answer 1

Illegal immigrants and their supporters are thinking that "their struggle" is similar and promote it that way because they need support from the American people.  If they fight with the Blacks, (when in fact illegals fight with everyone) it makes the public believe the Blacks are instigating it.

We just need some politicians with some coconuts to take care of the problem and give them (the majority) back to Mexico.  Until that happens, regardless of what the media may say, they are gonna keep rolling in by the thousands.....

Its amazing how many got stimulus checks.... and how many more draw social security.

Answer 2

We don't think are struggle is equal to blacks. I don't know why you think that. Why do you hate mexicans what did we ever do to black people

Answer 3

They are tired of feeding black people. Is there right black give them the idea. Mixican has nothing to do with the black slavery and the rest of the world. The whole world they'll come to realize that sooner or later  the only enemy is black.

Answer 4

Shinning you make some great points. There is no serious comparison between the slavery of the 19th century and the plight of those trying to sneak their way into our country. Any attempt to make such an analogy simply demostrates the ignorance of those attempting and insults the intelligence of the rest of us.

Answer 5

Blacks were brought/forced to the US against their will.

Illegals are just that - illegal entry to the US by their own choice.

No "plight" argument here. Two totally different historical factors.

Answer 6

The criminals are criminal and the decent people are decent; much like the members of the Crips and the people who choose to be law abiding. There is good and evil in all nationalities.

Answer 7

Wow!You're black and obviously racist against Mexicans.

Answer 8

All I know is that I feel bad for black people because of the illegals... you guys went from fighting for your rights to get to where you are now - just to become the statistical minority again...

Answer 9

To start with, Blacks are legal citizens,and  as such, should have been given civil rights a long, long time ago. Illegal immigrants , should ask for civil rights in their own countries

and not demand what they do not deserve when they are not even authorized to be in the country by the US government

The comparison is utterly ridiculous

Answer 10

Gees! did you forget about the Crips and Bloods? or did you not know that they are .......BLACK? Most of the racial tention between Black and Hispanics is gang related, so don't point the finger and say that all Hispanics or Mexicans are against Blacks.

"Through several weeks of field work and research there were a total of 274 Black gangs in 17 cities and five unincorporated areas in Los Angeles County. In this research, both the cities and unincorporated areas are identified as "places," a term that the U.S. Census uses. "

"a group of juveniles that committed extortion of merchandise, mugging the elderly, and ripping off weaker youths, particularly for leather jackets that have become a symbol of Crip identity."

Answer 11

so now because of MS-13 and the Mexican Mafia, they all should be blamed...just like the sterotypical thought that they all drink (burrachos), my husband for one, drinks maybe one beer every 6 months or so, he has also never done drugs and doesnt smoke. And he certainly would never kill anyone or join any gang, that goes for 99% of the other Mexicans we know too.

Answer 12

They know it's not but they try to do and say anything to gain sympathy so they can keep breaking our laws. I've even seen them compare their situation to the holocaust.

Answer 13

looking for sympathy,   Illegal Immigrants like to compare themselves to others plights to justify ones actions.

Answer 14

Why would anyone? Except those who were there.  I am so sick of people acting like some evil doings in history are their struggles almost 100 yrs later. I do not hear white people bitching about being slaves at a point in history or the Mexicans, bitching about being slaves at a point in history.

This is the point sir, All ethnic groups or cultural religions throughout history have endured some form of slavery or persecution but where do you want to live, then or now.

United we stand divided we fall...

Answer 15

They don't. And they don't ***** and complain about being held down. They just work and open restaurants and such and contribute. Weird huh?

Answer 16

Because they are trying to romanticize a struggle and thereby take the focus off of their illegal presence.
